Thinking of purchasing a 1996 Mariah 25' Shabah. Never had a Mariah. Thought they had a good name a while back and was wondering if anyone had any input.

Thanks

Re: 1996 Mariah

I had a 94 240Z Talari with a 7.4l Bravo III. I really liked the boat, the only negative was that it was tail heavy with the big block and it's ride in rough water left a lot to be desired. It held up very well, at that time, I think Mariah had the most durable vinyl in the industry. When I sold mine (at 7 years old) the interior still looked brand new. They went out of business in the late 90's and their molds etc. were picked up by a couple of boat manufacturers. I don't know about their "newer" models, but the ones I've seen appeared to be entry level. The vintage you are looking were pretty robustly made. But given the original company is gone, I would expect a very good discount on the price.
